[lorraineted]

This song will always be a classic. I was a teenager in the early 60's It seems that all the young people wish they had been teens back then. I also Knew 4 brothers who have won many awards including international who could sing this song, Their harmony was sweet to the ears since they were brothers. The early 60.s music will never die even my grandchildren love it. ~

@MrCrazycoffeecat reminds me of my dad who also isn't here anymore - when i was younger he'd put me on his shoulders and dance around the living room playing songs like this on the record player all they way back...in the early 90's lol

[vmate15]

This version of the song is now, in this year 50 years old, and same year when it released it was number one on Billboard!

[bkpatriots341]

[Colenelnelson]

the tokens They stole this song.

[shroomer41]

[dartvoider]

Its was a good choice of Treyarch to use this song <3

[ML1995]

@dartvoider

also pretty good if they coud've put this song in the map jungle. sighs.

[notverysuperdean]

@dartvoider when did they use it?

[Sukkasanteri]

[ashieboy1995]

[nathanevandi]

2005 ? the band personalist is old

[immortelle3]

So it took me 40 years to realize that what I considered to be the most horrible song ever heard in it's original version is not that bad, but the Tokens are responsible for abusing it totally.

[Mun4818007]

มาวิน มาแวะ มาวิน มาแวะ มาวิน มาแวะ มาวิน มาแวะ มาวิน มาแวะ มาวิน มาแวะ มาวิน มาแวะ

[Yamier2828]

que bonita cancion siempre me relaja y me hace pensar que el mundo nos brinda una solucion que hay que disfrutar la vida ^^

[TropangGalatics]

if all the songs of year 2012 will be like this maybe the world will be in better,,, but i still love lady gaga!!

[lgcrooks]

As a young guy back in the 60s, I loved this song And still do. But I wonder now if it wouldn't be better left to native people who actually sang this.

[rela000]

This was my FAVORITE SONG when I was going to L V Stockard JR High in Dallas.

I still LOVE IT!

[musicalrich1]

I had liked the Tokens' melodic version of the song, but just another case of capitalists taking advantage of original African rhythms. Look at rock's history, if one doesn't believe me...

[Tran0d]

dammit..they're lips are off >< ugh!

[willfaturrohman09]

why???

dance??

aing teu nyaho.,

nanaonan.,tapi lagu namah ngeunaheun.,...!!!!!

[keith121261]

[MultiBluepepper]

This song is LOL

[Mun4818007]

มาวิน มาแวะ มาวิน มาแวะ มาวิน มาแวะ มาวิน มาแวะ

[Nojoe12345]

The song is good but he isnt singing in the beginning while the music is playing

[alpha18412]

As I always tell my nieces;" Everybody alive today was once as young as you".

If they still got their thing to do then God Bless 'Em.

[jandtbee]

Did they ever sing anything else?

[medicvet]

wow does he still have a damn good set of pipes!

[XceptingDeniall]

I honestly wasn't expecting this to be good, but as soon as I heard him start singing I couldn't help but smile.

[WALRU11]

The cat still has the pipes! This is just great to hear, a fantastic flashback to a moment of pure musical magic. An incomparable classic. In a word: "Wow!"

[ChaneyisBishop]

i cant believe that Jay Siegel is still the lead singer even in the current linup.

[bobbilse]

@ChaneyisBishop ... There are two groups that have been touring for many, many years. Jay Siegel leads one, and the other is led by brothers Phil & Mitch Margo, two of the original members. The Margos recently sued Siegel for exclusive right to the group name and lost in court. Their version of the group is also on YouTube.

[hotirisbabe]

Too fast

[todd11673]

I love this song!!

[SteveLvideos]

LEAKED from GOD iPod

[NeoIbnuSoodin]

i like listening this song at night......

[discblizz]

remember when people needed talent to be famous?

[SixtoMagno]

@discblizz yeah AMEN

[discblizz]

@xMrMice wha?

[tbcpuebla]

@discblizz Yeah, I remember those days when famous people were talented, when graduating from college didn't require to get huge amounts of debt, when people were employed, when there was no recession and life was a bit happier :(

[TheNANANA90]

@discblizz today the world has changed...for example Justin Gay Bieber

[TheTammysmom]

IT'S LOST TODAY nothing today can touch this talent

[nikolaslaven]

@discblizz Remeber when people didn't feel the need to be famous

[mdoerkse]

@discblizz I wouldn't say this song requires much talent.

[discblizz]

@mdoerkse let me know when you gt be as famous as they are

[TheJensenlover12]

this song is great but what r all the names of the guys? pleasee tell me cuz i think i know one of them i jst need there names.

[Howieshet]

@TheJensenlover12 Jay Siegal and the jerk offs

[Baileywilliams1]

That guy must be Justin Biebers grandad

[taniacorify]

xvr

[taniacorify]

xvr 

[janellsis]

Help you guys!There was a song in the 60's that came out in the same 45er record as a b side and it went something like this " abule bule balla balla" kind of a funny song.does anybody know it?

[OneKnuckleballinFool]

The lead singer's voice has a very distinct sound. I can't figure out for the life of me how he does it. I'm not having a tough time getting that high but it's the way his voice is, it sounds almost digitalized.

[skol56]

@OneKnuckleballinFool

It is called Falsetto. He is still singing in the same perfect pitch that he did in 1961.

[Zephur19]

@OneKnuckleballinFool He's using a singing technique called head voice. Not a lot of male singers can perfect this form of singing. It's also known as going into falsetto, but falsetto is more a fake, high pitched sound that sounds bad when used in singing. Head voice is different from falsetto in the sense that is sounds more resonant and clear. Whereas falsetto sounds more fake, airy, and soft.

[castletriglav]

@Zephur19 It's still falsetto, dumbass. Where did you get your musical "knowledge" from, Tiger Beat? Head voice and falsetto are one and the same.

[Zephur19]

@castletriglav No, "dumbass". Head voice is different from falsetto. Falsetto, meaning, FALSE VOICE, sounds fake 100%. Head voice, or in other words, WOMEN'S VOICES, have more resonance and a better singing quality. Do you know nothing about singing? Do the research BEFORE you make stupid comments.

[OneKnuckleballinFool]

@Zephur19

Thanks for the info man.

[mikeyrobot500]

i love the song but he sounds like a pedo bear

[skol56]

@mikeyrobot500

Let's hope you are a victim of said bear.

[Rivannous]

can someone tell me on which drugs EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THIS VIDEO was?

[mrwickwiz23]

@Rivannous The ones Justin Bieber took.

[soundof90s]

[Peki1946]

[ra25291]

the main singer looks a little like will ferrel except with grey hair

[womankobu]

Delícia de canção...

[HerasBoss]

dont forgot who created this song,his name is Jimmy Cliff

[blablupp77]

@HerasBoss And don´t forget the original song was written & performed in 1939 by Solomon Linda

[sunkah]

@blablupp77 Wrong asshole, it was composed in the 1920s

[blablupp77]

@sunkah Why exactly did you drop out of school for mentally handicapped children? See? Now you´re nothing but a dumb uneducated wikipedia retard who feels the need to insult other people from the safe comfort of his anonymity. Poor sucker.

[sunkah]

@blablupp77 Hey retard, you read the wikipedia article and still managed to forget when the song was written. What an idiot. Your mother must be proud!

[blablupp77]

@sunkah ´nuff said punk

[kakashiuchiha33]

@sunkah If that is the wrong asshole then what is the right asshole?

[sunkah]

@kakashiuchiha33 Your moms; if you reply then you are a retard.

[kakashiuchiha33]

@sunkah Ohhhh. Your a 12 year old! Sorry then, kiddo.

[sunkah]

@kakashiuchiha33 lol you are a retard.

[kakashiuchiha33]

@sunkah Again. Your just a little kid with nothing better to do. Or if your an adult then I really feel sorry for your mental retardation. :( I can send you some money to help you. :)

[sunkah]

@kakashiuchiha33 I don't accept money from retards sorry lol

[boaterbil]

@kakashiuchiha33 jerkoff

[brillantegenio]

@blablupp77 RIP

@blablupp77 - youtube.com/watch?v=mrrQT4WkbN­E&feature=related

[karlasona]

@blablupp77  nice detail .. xo

[Mmmmoaa]

@blablupp77 And he never got th recognition or any royalties from the record company and died a poor man. So sad.

[DeadJesus100]

@Mmmmoaa  yea pathetic

at least his family have finally got the rewards $

[cabrelito1]

false was written nd performed first by Miriam makaba it's just an adaptation

[TravellerFellow]

@blablupp77 so what? I mean really! if a "white song" is covered by a Black African American Negro, then some "Special Black Essence" is attributed to the "interpretation". if a white group covers a song, (AND changes it to a catchy tune) then the "artist was robbed" by the BLue Eye White Devil Slave Masters (and Mistresses too I guess). getting REALLY sick & tired of thus I owe Negroes for past slavery that my family never did in the first place.
